The event was set to be a test, a dabble into something just a little different for SAU-Vic.

With the aid of the top class instructors, the sponsors J-spec & Driftline, and all the volunteers & competitors...

Its quite safe to say this was a 100% successful event and went off remarkably smoothly.

I would be very surprised if anyone cant take something away from this event that they did not have before.

I saw all throughout the day people's skills improving vastly which is a very rewarding sign for the SAU-Vic Committee.

Again, thanks to everyone coming up to support the event in many ways that people did.

We will be having a chat about the event in coming weeks with the instructors and get to planning Drift for dummies #2.

We can see already many many ways to improve on the next event and give you guys MORE track/training time.

I would suggest if you arent a member of SAU-Vic you fast become one as i have a good feeling that our next event will sell out before it even goes public.

So just a tip to the members of the public who entered.

Thats it for me, i had a bloody excellent day as we had a convert in Adam to the Taco Bills margarita's... so that was my little training for an instructor :P

I'll let you guys do the rest, post the pics etc etc.

Thanks for an excellent day

Cheers - Ash

Hey there,

I was the chap in the white S14a today. Never drifted before (actually stuck my hand up during the briefing for never inducing it either!), but had a fantastic time clearing up witches hats etc with the underbody of my car (oh, and drifting of course). I've clearly established that I need a set of adjustable coilovers, and maybe 2-way wouldn't go astray either!

Glad to have signed up to become a member of SAU as well, hopefully I can make it to a few more of these events to have a bit more fun in my car :P

Cheers,

Theo

Thank you soooo much to everyone that helped out, organised it,had a go at doing it and came to watch.

I had the best time and learnt soo much i never thought i would have learnt. It has given me heaps of confidence in my driving and my car and i have walked away with some new knowledge and driving techniques.

Thanks again :P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
